Obviously subjective and short term but still interesting. Also, new wheels.

I'm waiting for some actual feedback vs "rode them, interesting tires, I think I'll like them but don't know." I suppose they have to write about something....

Still waiting on pricing as well.

That said, I'm interested....

interesting. i'll definitely be up for trying a pair.

hopefully the price from the UK vendors will be on par with current pricing. currently it's easy to get a set of veloflex clinchers, masters or corsas for about 85 bucks, shipped. the veloflex tires absolutely rock, so hopefully pricing will be similar.

Vittoria calls the 4-compound, cotton casing Corsa the world's best tire? a pretty lofty claim, and offers it in 23, 25 & 28mm widths. The tires we rode didn't have production labels on them, but they measured just 21mm, leading us to believe that these were an early team-only version (although we were assured that is was all production level tech.)

Hope the 23 mm tire we get is wider than 21 mm... or more importantly, that the 25 doesn't measure 23 or 24 mm...
